>Number: 860 >Category: kern >Synopsis: visual mode in kernel -c is too restrictive >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Dec 2 03:50:06 PST 1995 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Satoshi Asami >Organization: University of California >Release: FreeBSD 2.1-RELEASE i386 >Environment: 2.1R, GENERIC kernel >Description: I tried to change the port address of my lance ethernet (AMD on-board PCI) to 0xffe0, but the "vi" mode didn't let me do that. The non-visual mode doesn't complain about it, and the machine works fine with that address, so the port should be valid. >How-To-Repeat: Go to the lnc0 line (for example) in userconfig, and try to change the port number to something beyond the ISA I/O range. >Fix: Remove whatever sanity check Jordan put in? :) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
